The Cause of Progress - Ven. Loun Sovath

A violent land dispute left four men in hospital and twelve in jail. Luon Sovath swapped his paintbrush for a camera after his family were shot. Video is a source of information, and information is a community's power. And become a human rights defender and video activist.

The problem of people and the path of Buddha are not different. Buddha's role was that of a man who saved people. So we need to follow the peaceful path of the Buddha. He has been threaten of defrocking, eviction and arrest.

Authority: this law prohibits you to participate in any activity that can destroy our religion. And religion belongs to the government. You can come to visit the villagers but you cannot lead them to protest.

I want to verify with the villagers. Everyone, did I gather and lead you to protest? No he does not. Did I lead you to protest? No, you don't. So you can see that I didn't lead them here to protest.

What is the problem brother? We are not going to stop until you meet with the head monk. I have to ask you to get out of the car to meet the head of the monks. Come on. What you are doing is wrong. We warned you but you do not listen to us. Get out. Drag him out.

They shot my relatives and they want to harm and to arrest the monk too. This is such an injustice. They arrested our villagers and now they want to arrest our monk too. This is unfair.

Please you cannot arrest the monk. They said they are not going to arrest him.

They have not been able to successfully defrock me. So they are finding other methods, like forced eviction. My room which I have lived in for 20 years as a monk has been taken. But I will struggle to get justice for people, for society and for myself.

The disconnection between the belief in Buddhism and the social problems in Cambodia

By Pen Bonna
Radio France Internationale
Translated from Khmer by Soy

Buddhism teaches that we all come to this world naked, when we die, we will not take anything with us with the exception of the sins and good deeds that we perform. Therefore, true Buddhist believers should not fight each others to fulfill our greed.

Buddhism is the state religion and it is worshiped by Buddhist Khmer families in general. For example, during each year’s Pchum Ben celebration, no Cambodian families would miss visiting a pagoda, whether they are rich or poor. However, when you compare the current social problems in Cambodia and the [intrinsic] value of Buddhism, one can see that the majority of Cambodians only worship Buddhism superficially only, they do not worship Buddhism out of their heart or out of their true belief at all. Why is that so?

The 15 days of the Kan Ben and Pchum Ben celebrations ended on Tuesday. Each pagoda in the kingdom was busy receiving Buddhist devotees. People from all creeds tried to visit a pagoda to celebrate Pchum Ben. This action seems to show that Cambodians are true believers of Buddhism, of sins, of “retributions” which are part of the Buddhist core.

Based on the busy traffic in pagodas during the Pchum Ben season, it is hard to believe that the Cambodian society is riddled with so many social problems because Buddhism provides a just philosophy that everybody can believe and worship. The foremost philosophy that Buddhism teaches to people is: “Do the right deeds and you will reap good deeds, do the wrong deeds and you will reap bad deeds” during this lifetime or during the next lifetime. However, Cambodia had continuously met with unending war and genocide, as well as major and minor problems.

Analysts who follow the situation of the Cambodian society have pointed out 2 major issued that we should reflect on. The first issue is the fact that a number of Buddhist followers worship the religion without clearly understanding the teachings of Buddha. Any religion aims to direct people to perform good deeds, but the problem stems from the fact that the worshipers do not practice their belief properly because they do not understand and they twist religion for other purposes. The second issue stems from the fact that people are using religion only as a shield, but they do not truly believe it in their heart and they do not practice it according to Buddhist meaning at all.
